lol i'm not at all denying that and i don't think that the people that hired and fired him will.
Nothing is out there that implies the opposite.

lol @ u naming 2 pre-tmz storylines.
i wasn't even thinking about that in the first place.
there are other documented workplace "problems". pretty recent ones, too.
we all have them. don't mean he is the guilty one. don't neccessarily mean he's always the victim either.
it's just one guy in here very desperate to ignore that possibility.
and that's actually the offensive part.

i said one-dimensional answers mostly don't apply in these situations.
i'm not saying being a troublemaker is what defines him. he's just been in situations (even in MIL) where this news doesn't come totally out of the blue.

kidd can be many things at the same time. one of those is being a HOFer, while maybe being "difficult" to other people and at the same time being liked by his star player.
just a possibility. i don't limit him to a bball genius, a race or one character trait.
you do that.
